Special Appeal

I've written here before about the Fauquier County Food Distribution and the work they do to feed the hungry here in Fauquier County. They're facing a real food shortage this month. Here is the situation and what you can do to help, directly from them:

Food is needed for individuals and Families in Fauquier County.
 
As some of you know the Fauquier County Food Distribution Coalition, distributes food on the 3rd Saturday of every month.  This organization is supported by the USDA, through area food banks.  Unfortunately the area food banks have minimal amounts of food and increased cost to the coalition. 
 
Volunteers have been collecting food locally in front of Giant and Safeway on the Thursday and Friday before the food distribution.  This has been the main source of food for those needing food in Fauquier County at the Food Distribution for over a year. 
 
Unfortunately, today is a collection day and the snow has decreased the amount of food being collected. 
 
I am asking you to please help provide nonperishable food items tomorrow for this collection.  Volunteers will be outside Safeway today and tomorrow until 4pm, weather permitting.  Food can also be delivered to Warrenton United Methodist Church.  Though the church is closed today, please deliver the food on Friday.
 
Please send this request to everyone that you know, individuals, groups, and organizations.  Below is information on last month’s distribution.
 
RECORD NUMBERS RECEIVED FOOD, CLOTHING, BLANKETS, AND WRAPPED CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR KIDS ON SATURDAY. 651 GOT FOOD WITH 292 UNDER 19 AND 87 OVER 65.  WE COLLECTED $937.00 IN CASH AND GIFT CARDS  AND A WHOLE LOT OF FOOD FROM GIANT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ALSO FCFDC BOUGHT AN EXTRA $400.00 IN GIFT CARDS AND $800.00 OF GOVERNMENT FOOD AT 6 CENTS A POUND.  WE RECEIVED NO FREE GOVERNMENT FOOD, SO IF WE HAD TO DEPEND ON THAT SOURCE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED DOWN.  A NUMBER OF FOOD BANKS IN THE COUNTRY ARE OUT OF FOOD, YET THE NUMBERS NEEDING FOOD ARE INCREASING DAILY.BY VOLUNTEERING, YOU ARE HELPING FEED NEEDY PEOPLE WHO WOULD GO HUNGRY.  THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  GOD BLESS.
